A Video Journey Through Time

Experience the rich history of Jupiter like never before with A Video Journey Through Time. This four-part series takes viewers on a captivating journey, from the lives of early Native Americans to the present day. Released throughout our Centennial Celebration in 2025, each chapter brings to life the people, places, and moments that shaped our unique community.



History Series Episode 1: Indigenous People

Long before there was a Town of Jupiter, the land was home to Indigenous people, whose roots reach back more than 5,000 years.

Evidence of these early Floridians and how they adapted to the coastal and swampy environments can still be found today in shell middens or mounds in places like DuBois Park and Sawfish Bay Park.

Today, the legacy of these early Floridians lives on in the stories, artifacts, and landscapes of Jupiter. From the Jaega to the Seminole, their resilience and spirit are woven into the history of Jupiter.



History Series Episode 2: Pioneers and Early Settlements

When the light first illuminated the Jupiter Inlet in 1860, it marked more than just safe passage for mariners. It signaled the dawn of a new chapter—a time when settlers braved Florida’s untamed wilderness to build a life in this land of promise and peril.

These early settlers—their homes, their fields, their railways—laid the foundation of the Jupiter we know today. Their legacy lives on in the landmarks and stories that connect us to our past.
